LAX-CDG-LYS
I'm in France! The first leg of my trip from Los Angeles to Paris was 10 hours and 15 minutes and an joy (I got upgraded to Air France's business class- Woo Hoo!). The second flight was just 58 minutes and as can be. I can't wait to share my stories with you in a future JohnnyJet.com newsletters. For now I just be blogging short updates and daily pictures like the one above which I snapped we were landing at Charles de Gaulle in Paris.
I used to be afraid to fly (long story). Moved to California from Connecticut at 21-- that's when I conquered my fear. In college I started dating a bona fide princess from Hong Kong. She was accustomed to flying Biz Class. I had ONLY flown coach -- and I had never been overseas. When she invited me home, I couldn't let the opportunity slip by. I (okay, my dad) bought the seat next to her from a consolidator. I picked the right time to have my first out-of-coach experience. WOW! What a difference-- A nice phat seat, some hot towels, a little sorbet to clean the palate, non-stop food, beverages and movies. When I returned to the U.S. I felt like a new man. I started working as a college recruiter. While traveling my 26-state territory on a tight budget, I learned traveling in style on a budget was possible. I started a weekly newsletter and JohnnyJet.com to share my tips. Three months later USAToday made JohnnyJet.com website of the week and now it's my full time job.
